Stadia
For more information on Stadia, please see the Stadia Founder's Edition page.

Q: Will Stadia feature cross-play with Steam or other platforms?
A: Stadia is its own ecosystem, just like current existing platforms. Stadia players will only be able to play with other Stadia players.

Speedtest working again I guess.

Anyone managed to order the Stadia Founder's Edition? What are the criteria to get them?

 

[d5dude]

I wonder what the latency is going to be like, with Microsoft and Sony now both charging a couple of dollars per month for access to their networks, Stadia actually isn't that expensive. This will change how people game if latency isn't an issue.

Turns out the Stadia subscription fee is basically like renting a console -- it does NOT come with games! This is not like Microsoft's subscription or Sony's Playstation Now which gives you tons of games with your subscription. You still have to BUY the games you play on Stadia... at full price, like US$60 for new AAA games. They did say there will be rotation of free games, kinda like the PS+ free games.

Full priced games to only stream play, no ownership at all kinda suck. Haha. Most people will likely stick to consoles? Unless you really need high accessibility, for e.g. people who travel a lot due to work etc.

consoles will also be going the streaming path next gen.
there's already a disc-less xbox.


and stadia is not the only streaming service. just the only one daring and big enough to make an announcement at E3 because they own cloud servers world wide.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/geforce-now/
https://parsecgaming.com/
https://vortex.gg/

and if you think about it, to these corporations: physical discs means several things:
they have to pay money to manufacture the disc
pay money to ship the discs world wide
pay money to store (either at the factory or shipping containment / distribution centre), technically lose money if the goods are still in factory idling.
pay money to the middle-man to sell for them (all your gamestop, EBgames, mom-pop gaming stores have nearly died due to online purchasing)

so naturally to these corporations they would be thinking: why not cut all that added overhead and cost and earn it directly with the developers?

and they will sell it as 'meeting the needs of digital natives', aka younger generation.

so chances are within the next 5 years, i'd say game streaming services (just like Netflix) will take off, and we may see more launch titles go digital only (most of the successful indies are already cutting out the middle man). All google did was fired the starting gun early, because even if Stadia fails on their platform, streaming service will still need cloud servers, and there's not many players in that industry, either way google will benefit. behind that would be MS with their Azure and Amazon with AWS and maybe Alibaba cloud.

And concerning ownership: you might want to read the accompanying EULA to your favorite game. chances are, we (even myself) don't legally own the any game. even if it is physical.

 

[mliolukiye]

Having ownership to me is having the access of the games (physical/digital) as and when I want (even after many years), unless the console/disc isn't working anymore.

Given the option of streaming vs physical/digital, especially at full price of games, I would prefer the latter because I possess it physically or digitally. At least I don't need to rely on servers. Like most people, I also subscribe to Netflix, Spotify etc. Don't own movies & the music but we only pay a small fee every month to access them. Affordability is there, so why not? And I like the convenience of having everything there.

But, look at Stadia, pay US$60 per game just to stream play THAT game only? It's expensive to me. Perhaps for you, it isn't. However, if you are talking about Stadia Pro, with a known games library list though not new games - I'm open to that.

Thing is, it doesn't allow you to play games you already own. So what about my huge library of steam games just sitting there? Or if I already have destiny 2, I have to buy it again to stream it? Yeah no thanks. Would rather stream the games from my own pc using steam or moonlight.

The thing is... If they allow you to stream games you own, where do they get revenue from? Let you use their servers for free meh?

I don't disagree with this.

However, most gamers on pc especially if they have a huge library of games from different platforms as well as a pc to play them won't be interested in stadia.

It looks like they are targeting mobile gamers since most mobile games are pretty crappy and I doubt most mobile games will even care about the input lag as long as they can play on the go.

If stadia wants to take off, imo think they should launch some type of service to play games you own on their server. Maybe a subscription to install maybe 5 games on their server? It would probably be much more attractive to players with an existing library of games since not everyone can afford 2 rtx Titan sli with i9 9900k tonplay on their 4k monitors. With stadia, you can game on your sofa with your 60" 4k tv.
